Using RainMachine Web Interface

All RainMachine models come with a built in web interface that allows total control of the device. This interface is accessible from local network (no internet connection required) or remotely using the My RainMachine webpage. Due to screen space available on modern desktops the web interface can present much more detailed information to the users compared with the mobile applications. It's also an important tool for developers that want more insight and settings for RainMachine.

Local network access

To access the web interface on local network you have to know the IP address of the RainMachine which can be found either by using RainMachine display and going to Settings > WiFi or checking your WiFi router information page.

Once you know the IP address you can navigate to https://<ip address>/ to open the web interface. Since the device is using a private IP address in your network you must accept the certificate exception. The certificate will still provide encryption but can't be validated automatically because of the private IP address.

Remote access

If you are away from your home you can still access your RainMachine via the My RainMachine webpage. This requires to have configured and validated your email address with My RainMachine as explained here.

IMPORTANT: We do not save any of your passwords on our servers, the password that you provide is your RainMachine device password that you entered during setup.

If you have multiple RainMachine devices you will be presented with a screen to choose your RainMachine. After this the web interface for the selected RainMachine will be loaded and you can control your RainMachine.
